If the Metroid Prime series is a trilogy ...

...then what is Metroid Prime: Hunters for ds? It has the ''Prime'' label, and it was the third ''prime'' game to come out, so why isn't that 3 and ''corruption'' 4? My brain hurts. Can someone explain? I'm sure this has been brought up before, but humor me.If the Metroid Prime series is a trilogy ...
Its a side story I think unimportant to the prime trilogy. I think it is a prime game because it is 3d.If the Metroid Prime series is a trilogy ...
Honestly, I think MP:H and MP:P were spin-offs. The Metroid Primes that were on consoles were developed by Retro Studios(these are the canon) while MP:H was developed by NoA(I think).



Retro meant for their games to be a trilogy maybe. idk, just speculatin.
It doesn't exist.

What doesnt exist? The game? Well it does exist.



Anyway it is just a spinoff and doesnt have to do with the 3 console prime games
If Metroid was a comic series Hunters would be an annual
The Metroid Prime games are are trilogy. Hunters and Pinball are just spin-offs. Hunters is indeed canon and takes place between Prime 1 %26 2 and Metroid Prime Pinball was just a re-telling of the first Prime game.
Hunter and Pinball were spin-offs like everyone else said. Not really part of the trilogy but part of the Prime series. Well that sorda makes sense :)
Metroid Prime on the consoles is a Trilogy because Retro Studios developed it.Metroid Prime Hunters takes place between Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes it was developed by NST (Nintendo Software Technology) so it isn't part of the Trilogy.Metroid Prime Pinball is a pinball style remake of Metroid Prime developed by Fuse Games the same company that made Mario Pinball Land.
Was this really difficult to understand?
Well I guess that clears that up then. I just always thought it was a bit odd that it was called a trilogy when there's actually four games. I guess its just a side story though.
Metroid Prime Hunters is a spin off it isn't apart of the Metroid Prime trilogy.

I hope the next one isn't. I would like to see a 2.5D Metroid for the DS

I wouldn't worry about that. I think Retro is working on something else currently, but Nintendo isn't about to drop one of their top franchises. I liked the old metroids, but I really enjoyed the Prime trilogy. I hope they continue with the same 3D style with sharper controls and a deeper story.

The Wiimakes of MP1 %26 2 - That's it. Don't hold your breath for a new console Metroid anytime soon.
I think we will see a new metriod on the Wii before the Wii lifetime is up. It may not be 3d. Retro is working on a multiplatform project last i read(gameinformer) and im sure that we will see samus return soon. There hasnt been a metroid on the ds yet......and since the prime series is so popular(awesome) im sure there will be more. we just need to be patient. Prime 3 came out like 15 months ago, so i doubt we will see anything for atleast another year.

Nintendo owns Retro so I doubt Nintendo would let them work on a title for another system (besides the DS).
hunters wasnt part of the prime trilogy. they slapped on the name prime because it was in FP. the prime trilogy is the 3 with metroid prime in them.
